Interview with 8. w. Dorsey
s.What are the details Of the cattle busi-
ness and the expenses Of managing .
ranchs''
ssThe expenses Of conducting 3 ranch
depend largely upon its location and the
number Of cattle you have In Wyoming
and south Of there It ought not to cost
more than 81 a head year In herd Of
5000, and less than that with larger
herd. When you have no fancy managers,
sub managers and other officers to pay
large salaries to, the expenses can even be
reduced below this. The principal item
Of expense Is wages to employees, which
range from $25 to 350a month for ordi-
nary hands and $75for the boss Of an
outfit, which means the man who has
charge Of wagon and twenty 81 thirty
hands. The work upon Rranch begins after
the 1st Of April, when The whole country
in the neighborhood II d hundred or two
miles Of the ranch is hunted over and
cattle rounded up and brought back to
their own range. M
.tYon understand IN the winter we do
nothing whatever with. cattle, but let
them 60 and drift wherever storms may
take them. When great storm RACES
cattle win run before e as long Is e lasts.
Sometimes they will travel as far as fifty or
one hundred miles, and only stop when the
storm ceases IF theywefe not allowed
to travel before the storms, but compelled
to stand still, fully nSthalf would freeze
to death. It is only th8 constant walking
that keeps them alives This IL the reason
ranchmen have pulled down all their wire
fences, md done it without the aid Of Mr..
Cleveland's proclamation II cattle are
put in pasture, however large it may be,
they will drift against the south line Of
the fence, and, being stopped by it many
Of them win perish No cattle man win
have fence IN Y Mail and Express.

WILMA FARMERS, CLuR.

The wilma Farmers Club met on the 2sth of
September at Mr.. George VIM. McComas' No
meeting was held the month before. Mr.. Nc
Conas Is principally engaged in canning for
which he has procured the most of the improved
machinery used in that business. He has been
ting up first-class goods. The committee on
roads made report, which drew out q general
discussion of the road question. 1t was the de-
cided opinion of the club that in selecting 81 per-
visors great care should be taken to select such
as will mend the roads in a business like way
and do the public full justice, and that politics
should have nothing to do with the road ques-
ton.
The discussion for the evening was begun by
the reading of Commissioner Colman's report on
Sorghum sugar as manufactured at Fort Scott,
by the Department of Agriculture. Considera-
BILE interest YVES manifested in the reading of the
report, and further inquiry will probably be
made TO ascertain whether sorghum sugar could
not be grown and manufactured profitabiy in
TINS part OF the country, as there is very little
profit in raisieg grain.

A large detachment of the Talbot county
hawks swept over the lower part OF the Neck,
last Sunday.week. Upwards Of /. 600 were seen
They were very ravenous and poultry had to get
out OF the way. Several We're killed. In def
ance of guns, rifles and pistols they would
swoop down, and woe TO the unlucky chicken
that had not hiding place. Eight were seen to
alight In one treo, and they would not fly even
when shot at with a rifle. On Monday there
was not a hawk to be seen. The Legislature
should either repeal the hawk law or reduce the
bounty; otherwise, If we should have such q
flight of these birds as occurred in Talbot county,
1t might bankrupt Hartford county to pay hawk
shooters. Moreover the mouse hawk is shot for
his head which brings as much as the head of the
benefit to farmers. Sparrow and meadow hawks
ALSO never attack poultry. JIM SANK.
